“Fuck you,” hegrowls.
“No, actually, Kristi’s the one getting fucked right now. She’s taking a big meaty cock between her legs, and she’s not thinking about poor Reggie, locked up because ofher.”
“Fuck you,” he growlsagain.
“She’s gonna let you rot while she sucks Jaxson’s dick, isn’t she? I bet she’ll never even bother tovisit.”
“You don’t know shit about this,” he says, but I can tell. I hit a nerve, and I’m not backing offit.
“Where are they, Reggie? You want me to stop Jaxson from stretching out her tight little cunt before you get a ride? Tell me where theyare.”
“Holed up at that fucking shack. Jaxson brags about fucking whores there all the time, that fucking prick.” He strains against his chains suddenly. “I want to strangle that fucking cunt,” he whispers, eyesbulging.
“Where’s the shack?” I ask himsoftly.
“Near that casino. I’ll give you an address if you promise mesomething.”
“What’s that,Reggie?”
“Make sure you put her away for a long fuckingtime.”
I smile at him. “Sure, Reggie.” I stand up. “Tell Mitch here where we gotta go. I’ll see youaround.”
He looks away as I leave the room. I stand in the hallway, breathing deeply. Cora comes out a second later and walks right up tome.
“Jaxson and Kristi,” she says, eyeswide.
“Iknow.”
“Shit.” She takes a deep breath and lets it out. “We had her. We tried to helpher.”
“I know,” I saysoftly.
“And she was a part of it, wasn’tshe?”
“Probably.”
She looks so angry, it’s honestly surprising. She clenches her fists, and I think she might scream. Instead, she takes a deep breath and lets it outslowly.
“Let’s fucking get her,” she says finally. “She was there when Atticus died. She was a part of whathappened.”
I take her hand in my mind. “We’ll get her,” I promise. “But let me ask you somethingfirst.”
She cocks her head. “Okay.”
“Do you think it’s going to make you feelbetter?”
She bites her lip. “Yeah,” she says finally. “Ido.”
“It won’t bring Atticus back. Just remember that. You’ll feel better that they’re locked up, but Atticus will still begone.”
She nods and looks away. “I know. I think… I think I’ve been ready for him to disappear for a longtime.”
“He hasn’t been your brother for years,” Isay.
“He hasn’t,” sheagrees.
“What will you do, once this isover?”
